Thanks you, Patrik!
The commons working group meets Sundays at 7pm. Please come if you would
like to help book and produce events. The event production collective
idea is something that we have discussed but haven't reached agreement
about in the past. That doesn't mean that we can't discuss it again or
do something like it to improve our event capacity, quality, and income.

I'm fairly certain an Omni events collective already exists and it
would be
respectful
to ask about creating one first.
There is an events *working group*, who are doing an amazing job
coordinating all the scheduling, but are also constantly understaffed,
overworked, and underappreciated. I've CC'd them on this email.
I've suggested before that it might help if there were some financial
incentive for people who are willing to help bottomline events. I
think it could make sense to set up a collective that has some
profit-sharing agreement with the Omni, and a strong (contractual)
commitment to also host free events.

means it's a "private party" with no special permission
needed. You could get away with much more if there aren't many people
milling about outside.

I've heard holding this type of event at Omni is be tricky atm
though. Oakland needs more edm events.
